New Pictures Of American Love Story Have Dropped And The Internet Has Thoughts
The fashion pack has been waiting patiently for the first shots and confirmed casting for American Love Story , the upcoming drama about the lives of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Jr. And, as the casting photos emerged online this week and the first outfits appeared, the worst appeared to be confirmed – the clothes aren't great. American Love Story ©20th Television, FX Network Cue eagle-eyed fans descending into fashion-fuelled overdrive and running to Reels to greenscreen their thoughts. You can see why these first-look photos have caused such a stir, with Bessette-Kennedy unknowingly hailed as one of fashion's biggest inspirations, the mother of that '90s Calvin Klein aesthetic, the person who managed to find the illusive pair of perfect blue jeans, the white shirt and the white slip wedding dress (oh, the wedding dress!). So far, the looks we've seen have fallen far too short of what could be one of television's biggest fashion moments, maybe ever? Ok, not ever , but come on, an undeniable draw to this couple is aesthetic, no? JFK and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, New York, 1996 ©Getty However, perhaps these are the scenes before CBK found her inimitable cool-girl fashion formula, before the Narciso Rodriguez silk slips, before the Birkins; let's give them the benefit of the doubt, right? I really am trying, but that tan-brown coat is seared into my brain at this point. I can almost feel the static. JFK and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, New York, 1997 ©Getty Now don't get me wrong, I am far from a fashion snob (I'm currently wearing £5 flip flops) and am in no place to judge (and here I am, judging) but this are one of the most sartorially-gifted couples of the 20th century; the hashtag #cbk has been used over 238,0000 times on Instagram, there are countless accounts solely dedicated to their style. The pair have transcended generations, beloved by Gen Z, Millennials and Boomers alike. So, with an (assumed) healthy wardrobe budget and more than enough inspo pics to go by, what's gone so wrong? Yes, sure, it may look like just jeans and a white shirt, but it's the cut of the jeans, the fit of the shirt that nails the brief, not a satin knee-length skirt and a pair of Converse (CBK would never)! This is an aesthetic that needs serious attention to detail to recreate, aka a dedicated wardrobe department sourcing archival pieces. Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, 1996 ©Getty Now, I know Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Kelly, the actors, are undoubtedly talented and of course very beautiful people, there's no denying it, however trying to capture the effortless je ne suis quoi of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and JFK is one hard job, which just goes to show, you can't recreate cool.

Hulu's new drama series unpacks a gripping true crime story — and you can watch the first trailer now
Hulu has just released the first teaser for 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox,' an eight-episode limited series revisiting one of the most controversial murder cases of the 21st century — the 2007 killing of British student Meredith Kercher in Italy and the wrongful conviction of her American roommate, Amanda Knox. The preview features Grace Van Patten as Knox, portraying her fight to clear her name and reclaim her life. Debuted during game five of the NBA Finals on Monday, the footage includes Knox's declaration: 'Many people think they know my story, but now it's my turn to tell it.' 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox' will debut its first two episodes on Hulu on August 20, 2025, with additional episodes releasing every Wednesday thereafter. If you're not familiar with the case, here's a brief overview for context. Amanda Knox, an American college student, was studying abroad in Perugia, Italy, when her British roommate, Meredith Kercher, was found murdered in 2007. Knox, along with her then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, was arrested and charged with the murder. The case drew massive international media attention, partly because of sensational headlines and cultural misunderstandings. After a controversial and highly publicized trial, Knox and Sollecito were initially convicted in 2009. However, after several appeals and retrials, their convictions were ultimately overturned by Italy's highest court in 2015, clearing them of all charges due to insufficient evidence and flawed investigation procedures. The case became widely discussed as an example of miscarried justice and the dangers of media trial by public opinion. Knox serves as an executive producer on this series, drawing from her personal experiences with the Italian legal system and the public scrutiny she faced. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Hulu has also released an official synopsis, which reads: 'A limited series inspired by the story of how Amanda Knox was wrongfully convicted for the tragic murder of her roommate, Meredith Kercher, and her 16-year odyssey to set herself free.' In a special interview with Us Weekly, Knox shared her appreciation for being able to share her side of the story. She said, 'It really comes down to this idea of do I have a voice and does my voice matter in how a story is told? That is what Hulu has recognised, and they're taking a chance on that to say, 'Yes, actually the subject does have a perspective that is valuable and that matters,'' Van Patten is joined by Sharon Horgan as Knox's mother, Edda Mellas, and John Hoogenakker as her father, Curt. 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox' is produced by 20th Television and The Littlefield Company. Created and executive produced by K.J. Steinberg, the series also features Monica Lewinsky, Amanda Knox, and Michael Uppendahl — who directs — as executive producers. 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox' will debut on Wednesday, August 20th, streaming on Disney Plus in the U.K. and Ireland, Hulu in the U.S., and Disney Plus across other international regions. The series will launch with two episodes, followed by weekly releases of one episode each.

Former ‘Doctor Odyssey' crew members sue Disney for alleged sexual harassment, retaliation
Three former 'Doctor Odyssey' crew members are suing Disney and 20th Television for alleged sexual harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and negligent hiring. Caroline Mack, Alicia Haverland, and Ava Steinbrenner filed a lawsuit Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court detailing their alleged experience working on the props crew of the ABC medical drama. In the court docs obtained by The Post, the plaintiffs claimed their supervisor, assistant prop master Tyler Patton, subjected them to 'an unchecked campaign of sexual harassment.' Advertisement 7 Sean Teale, Phillipa Soo and Joshua Jackson in 'Doctor Odyssey.' Disney The trio alleged that Tyler — who reported to his wife, prop master Tammie Patton — constantly harassed the plaintiffs with 'sexual jokes, innuendoes, comments, sexual gestures and images, and unwanted touching.' The court docs claimed that in July 2024, Tyler texted the prop department group message a link appearing to reference a news story about Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race. But according to the plaintiffs, the link sent them to an image of a naked male. Advertisement 7 Director Paris Barclay and Joshua Jackson on the set of 'Doctor Odyssey.'

Tyler, according to the crew members cited in the lawsuit, 'engaged in much of his sexually harassing conduct in the presence of management,' including his wife, who 'took no action to stop him.' Advertisement During one confrontation, Tyler allegedly told other employees, 'If I wasn't f—ing the boss, I'd be fired,' the lawsuit claims. 7 Phillipa Soo on the set of 'Doctor Odyssey.' Disney via Getty Images The plaintiffs eventually complained about Tyler's behavior and he was fired, the court docs state. However, the lawsuit alleges that Don Bracken, described as 'a friend of the Pattons,' was hired as Tyler's replacement and demoted the crew members to 'demeaning' tasks. Mack, Haverland, and Steinbrenner were later fired alongside the rest of the entire props department except for Bracken, and Disney 'then almost immediately hired a whole new set of employees,' they alleged.

The plaintiffs said they 'have suffered and will continue to suffer pain and suffering, extreme and severe mental anguish and emotional distress, as well as economic damages including the loss of past and future earnings and benefits.' The former crew members are requesting a jury trial. They didn't specify the damages they are seeking. 7 Phillipa Soo, Sean Tale on the set of 'Doctor Odyssey.'
